The Annual Business Meeting is today at 11:30 am. During this meeting, we will review the past year in a variety of ways, including the Annual Report, and present an overview of what 2021 holds in store for Plymouth, including approval of the 2021 budget.

Due to COVID-19, this meeting will take place via Zoom's webinar format. Instructions and a link will be sent out as we approach the date of the meeting.

This is a “voting” meeting where we, the congregation, set the direction for the remainder of the year. Every vote is important to our spiritual life in this place, so please plan on being present for this very significant gathering. See you there!

Last week’s planned Sunday school gathering was postponed... until this Sunday! We’ll be gathering at 2:00 pm, outdoors, for a very quick story time! And if you’d prefer less contact, you can drive by to pick up your story box between 2:15 pm and 3:00 pm.

Join Rev. Timothy C. Murphy and Plymouth members at 5:30 pm every Wednesday in an online discussion of the upcoming Sunday’s scripture and how we can apply those lessons to our daily lives and world.

Join our friends at the Neighborhood Christian Legal Clinic on January 28 at 5:30 pm for an introductory presentation on the important work they do!

The Clinic believes everyone should have access to justice regardless of their income. They are a faith-based organization that seeks to show God's heart for justice for all, regardless of background or religion, by offering free legal services to those who cannot afford them. The Clinic's goal is to free their clients from the legal burdens that have kept them from flourishing. The Clinic has offices in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, but they also provide services statewide.

Sunday, January 31, at 2:30 pm, if you are 40 years of age or older, you are invited to join Rev. Ruth for a discussion of the newly released film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Based on the play by award winning playwright, the late August Wilson, the true story of 1920’s blues singer, Ma Rainey, is told with raw intensity. Viola Davis portrays the title character in an Oscar worthy performance. The late Chadwick Boseman excels in his role as Levee, a member of Ma’s band, in his last film before his premature death from colon cancer.

The movie is available on Netflix. Watch the movie at your convenience and then join us for discussion via Zoom.

You must sign up by Saturday noon, January 30, by emailing rep@plymouthfw.org in order to receive the Zoom link directly from Rev. Ruth for the January 31 discussion.
